This dataset contains Decisions and Orders originating from EPAs Office of Administrative Law Judges (OALJ), which is an independent office in the Office of the Administrator of the EPA. The Administrative Law Judges conduct hearings and render decisions in proceedings between the EPA and persons, businesses, government entities, and other organizations which are or are alleged to be regulated under environmental laws. Administrative Law Judges preside in enforcement and permit proceedings in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act. Most enforcement actions initiated by the EPA are for the assessment of civil penalties. The Decisions and Orders are organized into three categories: (1) alphabetical listing by the respondent involved, (2) reverse chronological listing by date, and (3) Decisions and Orders under FIFRA Section 6. This dataset includes Decisions and Orders dating back to 1989 in the Reverse Chronological list, Decisions and Orders dating back to 1997 in the Alphabetical list, and a few Decisions and Orders dating back to 1974 under FIFRA Section 6.
Despite having a large geothermal power potential in the United States, only a small fraction has been developed for power generation. Various barriers, including technical, financial, and regulatory permit delays, are attributed to lower contribution of geothermal energy in the national grid. Unpredictable environmental reviews and permitting timelines are some of the non-technical barriers that can cause delays in geothermal exploration and utilization plans. This study shows that the geothermal permitting timelines can vary from six months to several years, depending on the presence or absence of biological resources, cultural resources, and sensitive environmental issues at the project site. The potential impacts of these permit barriers can range from investors abandoning geothermal development to making the product (i.e., electricity) more expensive and uncompetitive.
This study focuses primarily on the Categorial Exclusions (CX) process and its applicability to geothermal exploration. In this paper, we: - Provide generalized background information on CXs, including previous NEPA reports addressing CXs, the process for developing CXs, and the role of extraordinary circumstances; - Examine the history of the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) geothermal CXs; - Compare current CXs for oil, gas, and geothermal energy; - Describe bills proposing new statutory CXs; - Examine the possibility of standardizing geothermal CXs across federal agencies; and - Present analysis from the Geothermal NEPA Database and other sources on the potential for new geothermal exploration CXs. As part of this study, we reviewed Environmental Assessments (EAs) conducted in response to 20 geothermal exploration drilling permit applications (Geothermal Drilling Permits or Notices of Intents) since the year 2001, the majority of which are from the last 5 years. All 20 EAs reviewed for this study resulted in a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI).
This report is the third in a series of reports sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy Geothermal Technologies Program in which a range of water-related issues surrounding geothermal power production are evaluated. The first report made an initial attempt at quantifying the life cycle fresh water requirements of geothermal power-generating systems and explored operational and environmental concerns related to the geochemical composition of geothermal fluids. The initial analysis of life cycle fresh water consumption of geothermal power-generating systems identified that operational water requirements consumed the vast majority of water across the life cycle. However, it relied upon limited operational water consumption data and did not account for belowground operational losses for enhanced geothermal systems (EGSs). A second report presented an initial assessment of fresh water demand for future growth in utility-scale geothermal power generation. The current analysis builds upon this work to improve life cycle fresh water consumption estimates and incorporates regional water availability into the resource assessment to improve the identification of areas where future growth in geothermal electricity generation may encounter water challenges.
If you hold a mobility parking scheme permit, you can enjoy free parking for a certain period of time in designated parking zones. This applies to parking zones with meters or ticket machines. This dataset shows location and parking space information for mobility parking in the City of Sydney area.
Permits are issued for five year terms and must be renewed to provide continuous coverage. This list will be updated regularly as more permits are issued. Currently the section manages approximately 250 sites.
This dataset contains the various parking and council related data that has been made available on the Open Data Hub. It covers parking related penalty notices, the location of Sydney CBD kerbside loading zones, the Car Park API which provides real time occupancy status of selected car parks, Waverley council data and more! Note: Some of these data sets are provided by and maintained by the City of Sydney. * [Smart Cities Macquarie Park](https://opendata.transport.nsw.gov.au/dataset/smart-cities-macquarie-park) * [Smart Pedestrian Project Liverpool Council](https://opendata.transport.nsw.gov.au/dataset/smart-pedestrian-project) * [Waverley Council Data](https://opendata.transport.nsw.gov.au/dataset/waverley-council-data) * [Willoughby Street Parking Signs](https://opendata.transport.nsw.gov.au/dataset/willoughby-street-parking-signs) * [Mobility Parking](https://opendata.transport.nsw.gov.au/dataset/mobility-parking) * [Car Park API](https://opendata.transport.nsw.gov.au/dataset/car-park-api) * [Parking Space Levy Assessments](https://opendata.transport.nsw.gov.au/dataset/parking-space-levy-assessments) * [Penalty Notices](https://opendata.transport.nsw.gov.au/dataset/penalty-notices) * [Parking Offences](https://opendata.transport.nsw.gov.au/dataset/parking-offences) * [Parking Permits, Meters and Rates](https://opendata.transport.nsw.gov.au/dataset/parking-permits-meters-and-rates) * [Loading Zones Kerbside](https://opendata.transport.nsw.gov.au/dataset/loading-zones-kerbside) * [Off-street Parking](https://opendata.transport.nsw.gov.au/dataset/off-street-parking) * [Car Share Bays](https://opendata.transport.nsw.gov.au/dataset/car-share-bays)
Information of the amounts and types of permits issued to drill wells in Pennsylvania - includes oil and gas wells.
The Regulatory and Permitting Information Desktop (RAPID) Toolkit combines the former Geothermal Regulatory Roadmap, National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Database, and other resources into a Web-based tool that gives the regulatory and utility-scale geothermal developer communities rapid and easy access to permitting information. RAPID currently comprises five tools: Permitting Atlas, Regulatory Roadmap, Resource Library, NEPA Database, and Best Practices. Because of the huge amount of information involved, RAPID was developed in a wiki platform to allow industry and regulatory agencies to maintain the content in the future so that it continues to provide relevant and accurate information to users. The content was expanded to include regulatory requirements for utility-scale solar, hydropower, and bulk transmission development projects. Going forward, development of the RAPID Toolkit will focus on expanding the capabilities of current tools, developing additional tools, including additional technologies, and continuing to increase stakeholder involvement.
Marcellus and Utica/Point Pleasant shale activity spreadsheets discussing permit amounts are posted weekly at the site.
This submission contains documents that describe the USU Camas-1 test well, drilled in Camas Prairie, Idaho, in Fall 2018 and Fall 2019. The purpose of this well is to validate exploration methodologies of the Snake River Plain (SRP) Play Fairway Analysis (PFA) project.
